It's still unclear to me why an otherwise mentally normal person decides it's a great idea to go wave sailing in freezing baltic temperatures. After last weeks experience of southerly warm winds and cross off wave riding, this week has turned out to be windy but with a baltic blast from the North East making conditions chilly with sloppy wind blown chop at Pembroke. Pretty YUK all week with a strong NE wind blowing and about 2/4 wind blown chop. Nowhere to hide from this baltic wind this morning so may be pretty hard to find a clean wave anywhere. Temp has dropped a little also, but if you are really keen and fancy frost bite on your fingers you may find a messy wave to sail on down Pembroke at low tide. For this individual, I'm staying indoors and will hopefully earn some brownie points for when the winds are back in the west. The cold has it's advantages, for one I do like a nice cold beer after a sail. No fridge needed this time of year, just keep it on the door step. Those poor sailors in Maui have to spend a fortune on ice to keep their stubby cold.
So if the cold doesn't float your goat boat here's a few pic's to warm you up from a fun little session we had last year at Centres riding the inside section, accompanied by a nice warm westerly wind
